Dear Sir,
By book post we send you a copy of the first Edition of Tissandier’s book 1 (It will be corrected in many places in the new Edition) in order that you may see if what he says in reference to your discoveries is correct or not. We also send you a rough uncorrected proof of that part of the new matter added by the Editor in which he refers to you. We shall feel much obliged if you will kindly alter & add anything you please. Also, as we mentioned before, we shall be very pleased to add to the work any account you may like to give us of your photographic researches & Experiments in general.
We think we are correct in saying that this work contains the most complete account of the History of photography in existence and on that account, & as a book of reference, it has a value about that of the ordinary ‘Manual’. We are sure that any account from your pen will give the book an additional value in the eyes of all English Photographers. The second Edition will have specimen prints by
| The Woodbury-type 2 | Process |
| Albert-type 3 | ” |
| Licht-drück | ” |
| Permanent Ink | ” |
| Zinc Plate | ” |
which we think will be interesting as denoting the developt of the art in various directions
We are, Sir Yours faithfully
Sampson Low, Marston & Co
